However, I don't think that it should be limited to just Bounty Hunters. I think anyone who has mastered an elite combat profession (not counting hybrids, like smugglers -btw my primary toon is a master smuggler) should be able to wear this armor.

Er, I just realized that technically BHs are hybrid professions. But they should definitely be able to wear Mandolarian, just so that's clear.

P.S.: What happened to my edit function?

This would totally legitamize the Master Scout pre-req, and would give an under-powered elite combat class an edge we have been lacking since defenses were nerfed in for everyone else.

Will these stupid ONLY BH NEED MANDO ARMOR noobs ever shut the heck up!? Mandalorians werent BOUNTY HUNTERS, they were mercinaries/commando (not like the ingame professions) only the exiles and or leftovers became bh. It should be available to everyone.
Who cares if Mandalorians we'ren't Bounty Hunters? I'm well aware of that fact, guy. Continuity is already shot, so give the MBHs a break. Let me guess. You're one of those TKA/Rifleman/Commando flavor of the month idiots that would cry if he couldn't wear Mandalorian armor if it was only for MBH, aren't you? There's a bunch of new armor types in the works, and from what little hints the DEVs have dropped about it, it looks like armor certs are on thier way in as part of the combat balance. Gives us the Mando as a reward for the 217 skill points we burn for no defense and "ok" offense.

"look at me.. I only saw the movies and I don't have any general Sw knowledge.. but I wanna be uber"
ok enough flaming... imo I think it should be so hard to get that most people will whine about it... but thats better than everyone running around with it.. (kinda bored with everyone wearing the same armor).
so please please please don't let everyone get their hands on this.. make it insanely hard.
and "only mbh should be allowed to use this" rofl
also u should only be able have mandolorian armor as a master bh to refer to the other post, if someone gets mbh, gets the armor and drops... it should be a reqresit for mbh if u drop it u cant wear it or drop it for display! or sell it!
Like I said, if Master BH's and Master Commandos are not rewarded for the amount of skill points it takes to master their professions with this Armor, I wont be happy.
If TKA's, Pistoleers, Combat Medics, and Armorsmiths can freely run around in this armor. It wont be right.
In fact, I believe *ALL* armor should be Cert based. As you Master a Profession you get high end Armor. Allowing a Master Marksman to wear 90% Comp armor and beating a guy whos a Master Pistoleer is getting old.

Go to hell If I was a FoTM MBH wouldnt be a problem for me to master so I would have no reason to complain.
WAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAA! sniff sniff. crybaby. I forgot more about Star Wars than your small little brain will ever know. I'm not stupid, and I'm not a Newb. So next time you feel like shooting your mouth off, find me in-game.
Im crying? You've been bitching for the armor not me.

Look where being "hard to get" got us with the jedi thing. Before SWG was released, it said every where that getting jedi would be near impossible. All the little babies cried and complained and threatened to leave and made stupid arguements how they are paying a whopping $15 a month and that the Devs should cater to their needs... blah blah blah.... holo's came b/c of this..... still, all these same people whined and cried like 2 year olds. Now we have the stupid jedi quest system in the works.
How many Wookies you see in SWG world fighting w/ armor? Yet, these same people cried AGAIN and now we have Wookie armor on the way.
Mando armor should be left out. Period. 1 of 2 things is going to happen. (1) The devs are going to allow everyone to be able to wear it and it is going to become as common as Comp Armor is now or (2) The devs are going to make it only wearable by like a MC or MBH or something to keep the Star Wars feel in the game and all the above mentioned babies are going to whine and cry again.
As much as I am looking forward to space expansion, I am dreading seeing the wookie jedi flying in his personal star destoyer or death star wearing Mandolorian Armor. You know personal death stars or SD's are on the way b/c the whiners will cry about that too!
I think the armour should be wearable by any combat profession. I also think that it should be dropped,not as a schematic, and less than 10 suits allowed on the server at once. When the armour decays it is deleted from the inventory and allows another suit of Mando armour to be dropped.The dungeonshould havea few quests toenter and should beextremely difficult. The boss mob should have thesuit of armourand you have to 'duel' the boss instead of grouping to kill it.
That's just my idea.
Thanks for the heads up the armor is going in game.
I'll be preparing myselffor a letdown as far as how it is implemented.
Good day.
Um...ok...here's the thing.
People running around with names like "NeoMatrix Iamtheone" and "Perky Taters" and "Helluva Luvr" and "Luuke Skkywalker" and "TheDragon Reborn" and "Triple XXX" and "ChewinTobacca" and "Playa Hata" somehow are ok...but the minute someone who isn't a bounty hunter or a commando puts on some stupid type of armor, the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the game is ruined!
Honestly, I hate reading these message boards.
